Are you someone that has been considering volunteer jobs, well you are exactly the type of person we would love to hear from. We are looking for Befrienders & Care Companions who live in the Reigate area of Surrey. You will need to be a car driver with access to your own car and you will be looking for a part-time job, or perhaps you have been looking for “Volunteer jobs near me” or opportunities in your local area.

Could I be a Befriender & Companion?

Do you have spare time and would love to make a difference?

Are you, or someone you know, semi-retired and would you make a fantastic companion?

Are you free some early mornings, lunchtimes, evenings or just an hour or two at weekends?

What does a Care Companion Do?

No-one should feel alone. Over a million older people in the UK say they can go a month without speaking to a friend, relative or neighbour. As a Paid Volunteer, Befriender & Companion, you will help stop that loneliness and isolation by not only being a Companion to an older person, but also supporting them to carry out everyday tasks and to remain independent and safe in their own home.

Every one of their customers are unique and all have different reasons for needing a Companion. It could be that they are lonely, they have early onset Dementia, or an illness that affects their ability to carry out certain tasks. You would support them by offering any help they needed, be it helping them to get ready for the day ahead, selecting some clothes, assisting if they are struggling to get dressed, putting the toothpaste on a tooth brush, helping them to the toilet, preparing some breakfast, making sure they are washing and looking after themselves. You could also support them by getting them some shopping or picking up their prescription. The little things make the biggest difference.

Who would I be working for?

This is not a Volunteer job, but our advert is aimed at attracting people looking for Volunteer jobs, people who really do want to make a difference and make an older adult’s life a little less lonely and a little less difficult. Someone like you?
